On Marvel prose..
Bah, looks like I lost the post during internet weirdness. Let's try this again..
In regards to the news of Marvel releasing prose novels, it makes me wonder. A lot of people have talked lately of how many fans might be fans of mostly superheros and not so much of the medium itself. If that is true, novels might be attractive in that you'd tend to get a lot more story for less money than with a comic book. I know Marvel has done novels before, but it'll be interesting to see how a whole line fairs. I have to say it'd be kind of odd if an industry of its own was spawned of superhero novels, but it doesn't seem impossible to me either...
